I don't even think they know what they are going to do with them yet.

they could turn them in to fpga mini rig thats doing 25gh but sell them not for 15k but for lower price...

Just guessing...maybe they will get hundreds returnd just hang them on a pool some were ... Huh Huh Huh

At their power ratings vs speed, the power will cost more than they'd make after just a couple months of people using ASICs.

+1, I don't think there will be much use in the bitcoin world, but I am assuming they found some third party that uses them.. or maybe they will daisy chain them all and try to brute force wallets with high bitcoin amounts (jk)

true .. but still a couple months making BTC

i also think own 1 gpu@400mh now.. will become the same as own 1 SC@60gh in half a year IF ASIC are for real, only positive is the network security nothing else will change nothing... Wink Wink Wink
